C722 Little Lu's Hand
Even if there was a sect, its strength would not necessarily be that high, and it would even have to bow in front of the local families. As for the empire, there was not a single trace of it, and all the large cities in the Cangxu Continent were named after the strongest families within the cities.
For example, there were more than a hundred clans of different sizes with Zhou City. Currently, the Zhou City could be said to be a large clan with four members being Zhou Family, namely, Zhou Family, Yi Family, Pang Family and Bu Family.
Zhou Family was the strongest, thus the city was named Zhou City, which was also a type of glory, and when outsiders heard about Zhou City, the first thing they thought of was Zhou Family.
However, in terms of reputation, even if the three families combined forces, they still could not compare to Zhou Family. This was merely because Zhou City was called 'Zhou' City, which was the true reason why the three families wanted to replace Zhou Family after their strength had greatly increased.
Of course, it wasn't that the Yi and Bu Families didn't have this kind of thought, but right now, their biggest enemy was the Zhou Family. No matter how cautious they were, they had to first take down the Zhou Family before doing anything else.
Other than Zhou City, the other places were about the same, but in some cities, there was only one family. These families flourished with talents, and experts could be found all over the family.
Once a clan in a certain city had a Holy Monarch expert, the clan in the city would either change their surname and submit, or leave the city. In short, the clan with Expert of the Holy Monarch Stage as their leader would only allow one surname to appear in the city.
However, even if they all had the same surname, they would still have different levels of kinship, direct descendants, and side branches.
The side branch would always be inferior to the side branch, even if the strength of the side branch was inferior to the side branch.
It was much harder for a branch to become outstanding than a main branch. Only by making a huge contribution would it be possible for the branch to become a main branch from the side branch.
However, even the cultivation of the side branch was much smoother than that of the other branches.
In order to show the difference between this kind of family and other families, this family name would change from a single family name to a multiple family name.
Duanmu meant that Expert of the Holy Monarch Stage had appeared in the Duanmu Family before.
That was why Ye Han looked at Duanmu Xingtian with such a serious expression.
For a family like this, once they provoked one, it would be like poking a hornet's nest. Although Ye Han was not afraid, he did not want to be entangled in this kind of trouble before solving the Situ Family problems.
Ye Han did not understand much about the various large families and powers in Cangxu Continent. Seeing Duanmu Xingtian's expression, Ye Han guessed that there must be Expert of the Holy Monarch Stage living in Duanmu Family right now. Otherwise, some of the families with the same surname would have restrained themselves after Holy Monarch Ancestor passed away.
He definitely wouldn't ignore others like this, not to mention that this person who ignored others was merely a side branch.
If they were still thriving with talents, there would still be a chance for them to break through the Holy Monarch. It would be fine, but if they really did fall, it would be a disaster, and with so many powerful Cangxu Continent families, they would definitely be very happy to step on the feet of a former clan with a duplicate surname.
Unless the family had changed their surname and returned to a single surname, this meant that they had abandoned the glory of their ancestors and had fallen into an ordinary family.
Thinking of this, Ye Han began to ponder in his heart. He wondered about his mother's family's Situ Family.
With this thought in his mind, Ye Han planned to properly inquire about the situation of Cangxu Continent a few days before the ownership station opened, and there just so happens to be one candidate — — Zhou Dong!
After thinking so much, there actually wasn't much time. Zhou Family Head just finished introducing the three people, and then he started introducing Ye Han to Duanmu Xingtian and the others.
"Mister Duanmu, Mister Inch, Mister Mu, this is my son's good friend Ye Han. He is a rogue cultivator, and his cultivation …"
Speaking to this, Zhou Family Head looked towards Ye Han, because Ye Han did not reveal the specific cultivation level, so Zhou Family Head did not know.
Ye Han casually said: "Middle Level Holy King Stage."
Ye Han didn't want to reveal his true cultivation, but he didn't want others to look down on him either. Thus, he only gave a rough estimate: Middle Level Holy King Stage included Four-Star Holy King Stage, the 5th star of Saint Ruler, and Six-Star Holy King. As for which star rank it would be, it would depend on everyone's guesses.
Ye Han's casual words made Sun Tie secretly feel that it was true. Zhou Family Head clearly knew of Zhou Dong's guess and his expression didn't change. However, the three Mu Rong's group couldn't do anything about it.
Although it was impossible to be precise to a specific age, it was more or less possible to tell. The three of them could clearly tell that Ye Han was not even thirty years old, and was younger than them by a few years to more than ten years. His cultivation had actually already reached Middle Level Holy King Stage?
Even though it was just a side branch, it was still a Duanmu Family. At his age, he had not yet broken through to the Middle Level Holy King Stage, when did a rogue cultivator, who was younger than them, manage to reach it?
Thinking about the other rogue cultivator in Zhou Family, Duanmu Xingtian couldn't help but suspect that in this era, rogue cultivators were even more talented than big families.
"Humph, you don't feel ashamed for boasting like that, what Middle Level Holy King Stage, I see you have the highest level of One-Star Holy King Stage!"2
Mu Rong mocked angrily and his body moved. In the hall, he had actually attacked directly. This move, even Zhou Dong and the rest did not expect that he would not put their Zhou Family in his eyes.
Moreover, this act was a sneak attack.
Zhou Family Head's face sank. Just as he was about to attack, he was surprised to find out that Ye Han was even faster. Without even seeing Ye Han's movement, Liu Tie's clawed hand had already been grabbed by Ye Han without being able to break free.
Mu Rong's face flashed a trace of anger, could this person really be Middle Level Holy King Stage? No, he did not believe it. Their Mu Family was one of the big families, and even though they came from the same family, could it be that they could not compare to a trivial rogue cultivator?
Wu Tie's hand was locked, but his foot was fine. His right leg swept and viciously kicked at Ye Han. Ye Han's expression did not change, but there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
However, other people didn't notice this and thought that Ye Han was unable to react. Zhou Dong's face changed and he shouted, "Brother Ye, be careful."
Before he finished his sentence, Mu Rong's right leg had already kicked Ye Han's body.
The next moment, a painful scream was heard, "Ah! "It hurts!"
Everyone's expression turned strange, because the one shouting out pain was Mu Rong who kicked out!
"..."
